Have you found out exactly where the gas is leaking from ? If it's from under the hood area, you may be lucky enough to replace a hose or a gasket. With that said - If it's leaking further back under the car it's most likely leaking from a gas line or the tank itself.

Most times a gas leak is best fixed by a mechanic. It can get to be pretty involved - it usually involves draining the gas tank of gas, (removing it) washing it out (all to prevent a fire hazard) and filling it with air or water to find hole in order to fix it. Then it's a matter of repairing the hole.

Be sure to remember the "remove it" part before filling it with water - if you don't, you'll have more problems than a gas leak.
